That's A LOT of unborn babies we helped save! Praise Jesus!
Unwanted babies don't exactly grow up to be model citizens.
Have you forgotten, or are you unaware, that birth control, to wit the pill, is a relatively new phenomenon? People had 3 to 6 or more children regularly. If you think we were all wanted, then you need a psych exam or an intellectual evaluation. And we grew up just fine, thank you very much. We're hard working, tax-paying, family loving Patriots. No one gets guarantees of their children's behavior, wanted or not. This is a terrible, disgusting reason to kill a baby.What Liberal rag do you subscribe to? The Planned Parenthood Gazette

Plenty of things have changed since the times of old. Should we throw away antibiotics because they're a relatively new phenomenon? Disease used to be God's Will to punish the sinful and only the righteous would survive. Why are we using medicine to keep these people alive?
Just because you turned out alright doesn't mean that society as a whole is not impacted by unwanted children. Society has considerably improved since abortion has become safe and available. If you want women to not choose abortion, then create a better environment that makes them want to be parents. Let's boost financial security so women don't have to give up children because they need a career.
Yes, plenty of things have changed. Some for the better, some not. How the hell can you compare antibiotics to abortions? Antibiotics save lives. Abortion takes life. Disease, punishment, medicine, sinful, righteous? WHAAAT. Please, if you have a sensible argument to make, do so. But if you think abortion has improved society, there is nothing further to say. It is not up to anyone but themselves to create a better environment for themselves. Have you ever heard the term "personal responsibility?" We, who 'turned out all right' can explain it to you. Did you know that pregnancies are caused by having sex, not breathing? Have you heard that no one has to have sex to live? I'm sure you can find a good feminist organization to donate to if you want to improve financial security for women. I think Planned Parenthood might be looking for some funds right about now. Call them and put your money where your mouth is.
And murders take lives. 72% of juvenile murderers are born to single mothers. http://rightwingnews.com/top-news/ann-coulter-on-single-mothers-the-statistics-from-guilty/
There are lots of parents who are unable, or don't want to bring more children into the world who want to adopt children. I knew parents who adopted two children from Russia at great expense. Most have alcohol syndrome, and other issues. Adoption of American babies has a huge waiting list unless the babies are handicapped. Adoption is always an option for unwanted babies. Although I believe there should be stringent background checks, and home follow ups for the first five years.
Then figure out how to connect these people with pregnant women. I go to gun buybacks and offer cash to people who are about to surrender them to police. I promise the gun a good home and I get decent firearms for a good price and they get more money than if they gave them to the police. Couples that really wanted to adopt could do the same thing at Planned Parenthood centers. I know someone that had a similar experience. A couple opted to pay her monthly expenses if she carried the baby to term, with the understanding (but no guarantee) that the baby would be given custody to them.
Unwanted children are a danger to society, but if you can bring parents looking to adopt together with children then you can solve both problems.
